SubjectRe: [PATCH 1/5] kbuild: default kernel image
# This is a BitKeeper generated diff -Nru style patch.
#
# ChangeSet
# 2004/06/07 22:56:31+02:00 sam@mars.ravnborg.org
# kbuild: Default kernel image defined in .config
#
# During kernel configuration the default kernel image is now being selected.
# When compiling the kernel the user no longer needs to look up the
# selected kernel imgae in either the $(ARCH) makefile or in 'make help'.
# The more natural choice is to select the kernel image during kernel
# the configuration.
# The menu is located at the very top, since the other logical place
# "general setup" did not have an opening for architecture specific
# options.
# The added benefit is that packaging tools now have access to the selected
# kernel imgae, and do not have to do wild guessing based on architectures.
#
# This patch only converts i386, but other architectures should be easy to convert.
# The patch is backward compatible, other architecture will not break due to this change.
